Validation Tool for

VAT:

The VAT Number Validator and VIES

In order to ensure that the company you are trading with has a valid VAT number is important for online sellers. If your counter party or person you sell is not vat registered it will have different tax implications for you e.g collection of VAT is required for you and if not collected it can be bearable from your resources.

When selling B2B in Europe, the VAT numbers of the parties concerned must be validated ahead of time to ensure that they belong to the companies in question and that they are correct at the time of purchase. The selling is then considered a B2B trade.
